I used one ounce of thin sliced peeled fresh ginger in secondary for 3 weeks. At that time, tasting had good ginger flavor but the cider was still hot. I racked to a tertiary and removed ginger while aging longer. Hope that helps.

That's what I did, letting it steep through the boil and 5 min simmer. I think it's a good cinnamon taste without being over powering.

Just about every high end grocery store carries a glass jug of apple juice which should work. Note that the diameter of the cap is not always the same as the "cider" jugs so the 28mm airlock caps won't fit.

Got 4 one gallons jugs out of primary this morning. 10 day primary (forgot to take initial gravity) that left me with 1.010, 1.015, 1.000 and 0.990. Three were the same juice, winn-dixie brand and one was musselman's apple cider. All got the same yeast, 2g Mangrove Jack's M02 cider yeast with...

Apple is a bit of an issue in South Louisiana to get the required chill times, but I see that there are a couple varieties that would possibly work. Guess I'll try a couple of each to hedge my bets and make the best brew I can. Thanks!

By this statement do you mean blend varieties of pears or pears with apples? I'm attempting to set up this property to be as self-sufficient as possible (i.e. I'm a cheap bastard and don't want to buy what I can grow). These pear trees will be paired up with a couple of hives, couple of...

Greetings all! I'm still searching this site and the vastness of the internet to find a decent pear tree for Zone 9A/8B boundary and wondered if anyone here could provide some insight. So far I know the following pear trees will grow well in my area: Baldwin Spalding Orient Maxine...
